Thank you! |
I'm curious about this. Wikipedia's language selection lists it as "Dansk", and I find the lower-casing "dansk" a bit discontiguous with the other languages listed in the https://keepandroidopen.org header around it. Is there precedent for other the portrayals of the language's capitalization mode on other major International-focused sites?

Hmm, yeah, Wikipedia seem to just capitalize everything in their listings. Wiktionary has a list in the same style as the one you snapped on the non-language specific main page which is wrong, but actually does it right on the en front page which lists languages in both their own and English terms (and there are plenty which doesn't capitalize if that is to be trusted); Wikidata also has it mapped as "dansk" in "native label" statement (P1705) which even has a reference to the Unicode CLDR list of language names in Danish, which luckily also lists the term for the "da" language as "dansk". But if you find it visually appalling I have no objections against capitalizing it again, few Danes will probably even notice. And none of the other language contributors seems to have bothered either (many of the current available languages should be lower if Wiktionary is right). My brain just notices, knowing it is incorrect ;). |

Thanks for the thoughtful and informative response! I'll leave it the way it is for now (decapitalized), but if other people raise it as an issue I may revert to the capitalized form. |
